The first two games of the series lasted a combined seven and a half hours, and featured a near combined no-hitter and a dramatic grand slam. So something crazy was bound to happen in Game 3. Fittingly, the power went out.

Actually, a power substation near the stadium went down, causing the lights to go out at Comerica Park and delaying play in between the top and bottom of the second inning. The score was 0-0 at the time.

The delay lasted 17 minutes, with play restarting just before 5 p.m. ET. Umpires were waiting for the stadium lights to turn back on before play could resume. But as you'll notice, it wasn't dark in Detroit yet.

The delay didn't seem to rattle Red Sox pitcher John Lackey, who had a perfect inning with two strikeouts after play started again.
